Hi I’m Gail! How are you? :)

I am a fan of backpacking/budget trips. For one obvious reason, it is CHEAP. If you give me a choice of staying in a five star hotel or in a small nipa hut in a fishing village, the hut would win hands down. I also truly love the challenge of going to a certain place by my own means. My curiosity makes me need and want to see what unique things can be found in the area. I like the thought that I know I can survive with everything on my backpack and that material possessions don’t mean a whole lot out there, and really the only thing that matters is the experiences I bring with me and the experiences I take home with me.
